You treat Vince Dooley like a god. Take Hershel away from the program and nobody breathing air would have seen a NC at UGA. CMR is on pace to obliterate Dooley's win total. I grew up watching 6-5 and 7-4 seasons and blow out losses to Tennessee and Florida. The worst CMR has had is 8-4 and it has only happened once in 8 years.

I think someone who has the same demeanor will be able to calm the players down in crisis times. You think he made it this far without knowing how to get the crew fired up (behind closed doors)? Doubt it. In front of the media, I think he does a great job with Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698248854304025513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-26581218374402601372009-09-09T17:35:35.759-04:002009-09-09T17:35:35.759-04:00Thanks, Dave for nailing it with this post.

I'm not claiming to know anything special, what I mean is you do a bit of digging and here we are with assistant coaches disagreeing (publicly) with the head coach.
